Little Shushu immediately praised her mother, "Mommy is so pretty, Mommy is the prettiest, I love Mommy..."

After saying that, she even made a heart shape with her hands for Shen Yu, which was incredibly cute.

This heart-shaped gesture was naturally taught to them by Shen Yu from later generations.

Her daughter's sweet gesture filled Shen Yu's heart with warmth, and she couldn't help but hug and kiss her again, replying, "Mommy loves little Shushu too~"

Little Shushu smiled, her eyes crinkling.

The family of four changed into new clothes before going downstairs to greet the guests with Qiao Shuhui.

Shen Yu quietly went to the kitchen storeroom and put in some high-end ingredients such as spiny lobster, king crab, grouper, sliced ​​bluefin tuna, mutton, beef, chicken, duck, and goose.

She also brought out quite a lot of vegetables and fruits from the farm.

Everything produced on the farm tastes many times better and has a higher nutritional value than similar products from outside.

Ever since Shen Yu and Qiao Shuhui recognized each other, all the ingredients for the Qiao family's food have been provided by Shen Yu.

Her family's yacht now makes a round trip to Shenzhen every one or two days, bringing back a lot of things with it.

Even if the yacht doesn't go to Shenzhen, there are cargo ships every other day that deliver beverages produced by her beverage factory and goods from her food processing plant to the port city.

She also loads the raw materials onto cargo ships in the port city and then transports them to Shenzhen.

Normally, the supplies for the port city are provided by the two factories. She only comes to the underground warehouse to deliver goods when Chairman Li and his group want to order high-end ingredients.

In addition to transporting her goods, the Qiao Group's electronics and electrical appliance factories also need to receive and ship goods every other day.

As more and more factories are built in the Nanshan Bay Industrial Zone, the Nanshan Bay Port is gradually becoming more bustling.

At 5:50, Grandpa Zheng and Zheng Weiting arrived at the Qiao family villa in their Rolls-Royce.

Qiao Shuhui, along with Shen Yu, the three children, and the housekeeper Jiang Xian, stood at the main entrance to welcome Old Master Zheng.

Seeing Grandpa Zheng get out of the car, Shen Yu immediately went up to him and greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Zheng! Hello, Uncle Zheng!"

Qiao Shuhui also stepped forward with a smile, greeting Old Zheng and saying, "Old Zheng, welcome to my humble abode. It is truly an honor to have you here!"

Old Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Ah Hui, I'm glad you don't mind me bothering you. Xiao Yu'er, children, how are you!"

Qiao Shuhui then told the children to quickly call for help.

The three children obediently greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Zheng! Hello, Grandpa Zheng!"

Grandpa Zheng and Zheng Weiting both smiled warmly and responded to them, "Hello, my little darlings!"

Qiao Shuhui then said to them, "Mr. Zheng, let's go inside and sit down!"

Grandpa Zheng smiled and replied, "Okay, okay..."

The group escorted Mr. Zheng into the main living room, and Qiao Shuhui invited him to sit at the head of the table.

Since Qiao Shuhui and Zheng Weiting were now living together, Old Master Zheng thought he could treat Qiao Shuhui as his daughter-in-law.

This time, he didn't refuse and sat in the head seat, which meant he had accepted that he would be her elder.

Qiao Shuhui and Shen Yu exchanged a glance. They both seemed to have a premonition that Old Master Zheng had come to their door in person today for some reason.

Shen Yu brewed them a pot of refreshing tea.

After drinking it, Grandpa Zheng praised it a few more times, "Xiaoyu, ever since I drank your refreshing tea, no matter how good other teas are, they just don't taste right anymore. This refreshing tea is still the best, and it makes me feel comfortable."

Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Then when you go back later, take two more boxes with you."

Old Zheng had this idea in mind, and seeing that Shen Yu was indeed on the right track, he laughed heartily, "Haha, that's great, thank you, Xiao Yu'er."

After a few cups of tea and some casual conversation, Mr. Zheng coughed lightly and formally got to the point.

“Ah Hui, I’ve come to your door in person today, firstly to apologize for the mistake I made back then.”

"Secondly, I want to personally propose to you on behalf of Ah Ting, asking you to marry into our Zheng family and to marry Ah Ting. Is that alright?"

Qiao Shuhui and Shen Yu exchanged another glance.

Just as they expected, Old Master Zheng really did come to ask for a marriage proposal for his son!

The old man really humbled himself today, even using the word "marrying down," which directly placed Qiao Shuhui's status above that of the Zheng family!

Old Zheng really gave her a lot of face this time!

Qiao Shuhui did not immediately agree, but asked Zheng Lao with a smile, "Zheng Lao, why did you change your mind?"

Old Zheng sighed softly and said very frankly, "Back then, I felt that you came from the mainland with no support, had been married before, and had children. I felt that you were not good enough for Ah Ting, which is why I did not agree to your marriage. I really underestimated you. Here, I want to sincerely apologize to you."

After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qiao Shuhui.

Qiao Shuhui quickly stood up to step aside and said to him frankly, "Mr. Zheng, you don't need to apologize. As a parent, I understand your choice at the time very well. If it were me, I might have done the same."

Old Zheng looked at her with a gratified expression. "Thank you for your understanding and tolerance. Later, as you gradually became more capable, I had already given in. But it seems that you had also reached a consensus not to get married and only to date, so I couldn't say anything more."

"Why did I change my mind this time and personally come to ask you to marry me?"

"First, I don't want to see Ah Ting spend his whole life alone. Although you two are dating, in the minds of our older generation, dating without marriage means you'll never be a family bound together on the same boat. Please forgive my old-fashioned thinking."

"Secondly, and very realistically, Ah Hui, you are very capable and deserve the position of the matriarch of the Zheng family."

"Third, your Qiao family is very impressive now, and our Zheng family may soon be subordinate to you."

“Our two families are now well-matched. You and Ah Ting can have fair conversations and share the same understanding and vision. This is the only way for you to go the distance.”

After hearing what Old Zheng said and receiving his apology, Qiao Shuhui felt much better.

To be honest, being in her position, she understood his way of thinking very well.

From his perspective, he wouldn't consider things solely from the perspective of love and affection, but would take the family as the starting point and consider all aspects before confirming whether something could be done.

The marriages of his other children are fine; Old Master Zheng doesn't need to ask too much of them.

However, as the heir of the Zheng family, Zheng Weiting's every move and the identity of his wife are of paramount importance to the entire family.

He never imagined that the man who forbade Zheng Weiting from marrying Qiao Shuhui back then would refuse to compromise all these years later.

Apart from Qiao Shuhui, he would rather remain single and have no children than marry another woman.
